Outkast - ATLiens album cover | |||||||||||||||
ATLiens is the sophomore album by hip-hop duo OutKast. It was released on August 27, 1996. The title is a portmanteau of "ATL" (an abbreviation of Atlanta, Georgia) and "aliens".
The CD booklet features a comic involving members André 3000 and Big Boi. Unlike their debut, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, in which the two portrayed themselves as Southern pimps, many songs on ATLiens feature more unconventional subject matter for hip hop. It also has a notably more laid-back, spacey production sound, which they would continue to a certain extent on their follow-up album Aquemini. Two-thirds of the album is produced by Organized Noize, OutKast's primary production team. The rest is produced by Earthtone Ideas, a production team that OutKast themselves are a part of. While critically acclaimed, it would not be until they released Aquemini and most notably Stankonia that OutKast would receive significant mainstream popularity. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums. Track listing: 1. "You May Die (Intro)" 2. "Two Dope Boyz (In a Cadillac)" 3. "ATLiens" 4. "Wheelz Of Steel" 5.
